I just updated three videos showing essential technique when chip carving 3-corner chips.To watch them in HD you’ll need a free Gold Membership. Uploading HD videos to YouTube takes too long which is why these high definition videos can be watched and downloaded from the My Chip Carving Video Vault.
I hope you enjoy watching!

This is the last lesson in the series on how to carve a wine bottle holder. Please comment on this class and how I can make the next chip carving class even better. Also, please post photos of your finished carving. Thanks for joining me.
